I only read the article, sorry! Its just that at the time I was often amazed by the accuracy of the service (for timing, duration and rain intensity). But I guess there is always room for improvement.

In the Netherlands there is buienradar.nl which also uses radar images to predict rain fall accurately. Already for more then 10 years. Before an algorithm was called ‘AI’ ;-)

'Using in production' is 27 companies. A large part of those (Amazon, Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, etc) probably as a service for others to built their own services. So in the end just a handful of those 100 companies are using it in p

I really like it for the same reasons as the author. It uses node to compile templates into html, but there is also an API available. Perfect, because my serverside project has no other need for node.
